Basecamp for Men E245: On Being a Man

E245: On Being a Man with Special Guest

Dr. Mark McDonald

 

E245 Introduction

As many of you know (and by the title of this show), this podcast started out as a show and a resource for men as they navigate their lives and their Hero’s Journey. As many of you know, one of my big transformations in life was from a nice guy, people-pleasing liberal into a rough-and-tumble, masculine Warrior Dog. I am only half-kidding. Today, I am man who is comfortable in his masculinity and in his own skin. This was done through my own initiation that I have talked about plenty, especially in those first episodes.

But over the years, something happened with the show. God was asking me to expand my repertoire of topics to include, well, all of the topics you have come to listen to over the years. Everything from the war with the Deep State to the truth about Covid and vaccines to ET’s to Bitcoin and everything in between. I have done my best to always try to show a through line and a Hero’s Journey or Awakening that was and is unfolding. God was picking the subjects and the guests, I was riding shotgun with microphone and ears and heart as open as I could manage.

With that being said, today’s is a bit of a throwback and I am grateful to do this one. I don’t talk about men and the state of masculinity as much as I did 10-15-20 years ago. I have taken my place in the narrative war as a voice of truth and a stand for courage, freedom, and strength in my tribe, humanity.

Today‘s episode is another with Dr. Mark McDonald and we break out Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men to talk about being a man today and what is at stake (for men, women, and children). What is the difference between being a good man/nice guy and being good at being a man? We’ll explore this in depth.

The world will always need strong, courageous men. And thankfully, we still have them. Men like my guest today. I have done many episodes to build bridges for the left……today may not one of them. Enjoy the interview!

E203: The Truth About Men

 

E203 Introduction

Today is a different sort of episode but one that we have done from time to time….me being interviewed on another podcast. I like to throw these in there when the content is good and relevant and vibrant. My new friend Marja West guides the conversation in expert fashion.

And I am offering a new service for men and woman alike. One on one Zoom calls with me to support you in your unique Hero’s Journey. I have been feeling the pull to offer something else for humanity and I think this is a very good option. I am not feeling like starting up group work again at this time. I know quite a few men who have reached out to ask about this. I just had coffee with another yesterday.

So this is my way of keeping my finger on the pulse without going back over some of the same terrain I’ve already covered. And the new service isn’t super-structured like my old coaching programs. It is really just you and I finding out what challenges you are facing and how I can help you into the next chapter of your Hero’s Journey. I feel like this taps into my experience as a facilitator of shadow work and the human experience and my love of humanity and where we are all going together.

Men will find it valuable to have a nonjudgmental man in their corner to help them navigate what is going on and where they want to go. Women will benefit from this as well, especially if you are looking to better understand the men in your lives- the husbands and partners, the sons, the brothers.

For more information, simply go to either www.basecampformen.com or www.tonyrezac.com and you can click on the email form and reach out. If you think my perspective can help you navigate, don’t hesitate to contact me. It is a no-pressure way to see if I can assist you in forward movement, whatever that looks like for you.

And now onto today’s conversation. Marja West and I at the microphones, dropping truth bombs. Enjoy!

Basecamp for Men E145: About Men

E145: About Men

 

E145 Introduction

Wow, there is so much going on in the world right now. How are you all holding up?

God you hear some absurd stuff about men and masculinity these days. Men are not really celebrated for the gifts they bring anymore. Everything has to be viewed through a Marxist, transgendered lens. To speak of positive masculinity and the abundant gifts that men bring to our world is to be sort of old-fashioned, isn’t it?

If all things transgendered is HIP (is it hip?) then ordinary, good men will seem outdated and out of step. It is as if they are trying to tell the world that it doesn’t need men. How absurd is that?

To counter this absurdity and in celebration of men I offer you 10 gifts that men bring the world. What a radical idea huh? Celebrate men and boys for what they inherently bring to our lives. This list is far from exhaustive. See if you recognize some of your gifts that you bring to the world. And don’t let the strange anti-humanist MSM agenda diminish you in any way. Men have work inner work to do but there is much to stand tall about. Here we go.

Basecamp for Men E135: Punching Karl Marx

E135: Punching Karl Marx with Special Guest Mark Jackson

 

E135 Introduction

Well, I am back and refreshed after a week down on the Gulf side of Florida. Sun, sand, water, and lots of good food. I highly recommend a visit to the Gulf side of Florida if you have not been.

This week I have the pleasure of interviewing Mark Jackson, a man who I count as one of my best friends for the past 20 years. We have been through initiations together and supported one another on our respective Hero’s Journeys. I have sat with him over countless coffees and laughs around Manhattan to discuss the deeper issues and challenges that we face as men.

When I first became friends with Mark, we were both die hard liberals. Everything seemed fine back then. But communism and Marxism was shape shifting and moving along the American cultural landscape and both Mark and I started to sense something darker and sinister unfolding here in our own country.

This episode is really the first part of a primer on Marxism and America. Not as a scholarly expression. Neither Mark or myself feel qualified for such a deep dive. The episode is meant to show how two friends see what is becoming an obvious threat to our nation and its principles.

The next episode I do will be an exploration of American Marxism and its impact on our education system. Something I have an active interest in. Yes, the content is dark and heavy. But I believe it is necessary to warn you, my dear listeners. Particularly if you have young children.

Anyways, here is my friend Mark Jackson and I. Two men talking around the campfire, so to speak. I hope you enjoy it.

Mark Jackson Bio

Mark Jackson is the senior film critic of the Epoch Times whose film reviews can be found on Rotten Tomatoes and Flickster. He has been a professional actor for 25 years and is the official radio and television voice of the world touring Chinese classical dance show Shin Yun. He is also the narrator of the audiobook How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World. Here is my interview with Mark Jackson.

E135 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Mark as much as I did. The audiobook and books are titled “How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World” from the Epoch Times and the editorial board of “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party”. These writers are absolute experts and authorities on all things communist and Marx and how it is impacting us and threatening our future.

You can find the book at www.theepochtimes.com and go to their store at Epoch Shop. Go get yourself educated. It may change how you approach things like who you vote for or where you send your child to school. All food for thought.
